To meet the extremely short development cycles typical in these industries today, Lumberg required a development solution that supported parallel design of its products and manufacturing technology. As soon as the first new product concept is realized in 3D, development of the production technology begins. Using CoCreate provides the design team with flexibility to respond to unforeseen changes up until the last minute of the design process.

“The flexible direct modeling approach in PTC CoCreate Modeling and the product data management capabilities of CoCreate Model Manager allow us to exploit the benefits of concurrent engineering,” said Stefan Joergens, head of R&D at Lumberg. “The PTC CoCreate product family is critical to our success because we have to meet very short development cycles for our customized projects. With our modification-intense and time-critical unique projects, this software offers design flexibility that can’t be beat.”

“We are pleased that the Lumberg Group uses the advantages of the direct modeling approach and data management in PTC CoCreate to optimize its time-critical processes for concurrent engineering,” said Martin Nuemueller, director, product management, PTC. “The Lumberg Group's success further supports the importance of direct modeling for customized, fast-paced product development.”
